Cross R
Biopolymers
. 2016 Apr;
105(8):476-82.
PMID: 27120111
Kinesins are P-loop NTPases that can do mechanical work. Like small G-proteins, to which they are related, kinesins execute a program of active site conformational changes that cleaves the terminal...

Cross R, McAinsh A, Straube A
Semin Cell Dev Biol
. 2011 Oct;
22(9):913-5.
PMID: 22001112
Eukaryotic systems self-organise by using molecular railways to shuttle specific sets of molecular components to specific locations. In this way, cells are enabled to become larger, more complex and more...

Carter N, Cross R
Nature
. 2005 May;
435(7040):308-12.
PMID: 15902249
Kinesin is a molecular walking machine that organizes cells by hauling packets of components directionally along microtubules. The physical mechanism that impels directional stepping is uncertain. We show here that,...

Cell Struct Funct
. 2004 Jun;
24(5):277-84.
PMID: 15216883
We have studied the structure of microtubules decorated with kinesin motor domains in different nucleotide states by 3D electron microscopy. Having docked the atomic coordinates of both dimeric ADP.kinesin and...

. 2004 May;

PMID: 15120091
A new optical trapping study shows that the stepsize of cytoplasmic dynein varies according to the applied force, suggesting that this motor can change gear. Complementary biochemical kinetic work on...

Curr Biol
. 2004 Mar;
14(4):R158-9.
PMID: 15027469
An ingenious new experiment used a form of kinesin with one slow head and one fast head to demonstrate definitively that this motor protein moves along a microtubule using alternating...

J Microsc
. 2002 May;
206(Pt 2):161-9.
PMID: 12000556
Multiphoton excitation was originally projected to improve live cell fluorescence imaging by minimizing photobleaching effects outside the focal plane, yet reports suggest that photobleaching within the focal plane is actually...

Curr Biol
. 2001 Mar;
11(4):R147-9.
PMID: 11250171
A recent model suggests that the walking action of kinesin is due to a 13 residue 'fundamental engine' called the neck linker domain, which cyclically zips and unzips to the...

. 2000 Oct;
19(20):5308-14.
PMID: 11032798
Cryo-electron microscopy and 3D image reconstruction of microtubules saturated with kinesin dimers has shown one head bound to tubulin, the other free. The free head of rat kinesin sits on...
